INDIVIDUAL MODEL FEATURES SPT 2420 and SPT 2422 • The SPT 2420 features Momentary (Nick) Stimulation, Continuous Stimulation, Jump Stimulation (patent pending), Rise Stimulation (patent pending) and Positive Vibration. • The SPT 2422 has the same features as the SPT 2420 and comes with two Collar Receiver units (orange and black) which are operated from the same transmitter. You can switch from one collar to the other by pressing the Collar Selection button on the transmitter.
ADJUSTING & POSITIONING YOUR COLLAR FOR PROPER FIT Proper collar tightness and position are very important to insure safety and correct functioning every time you use the collar. • All electronic collars need to be very snug to work properly. They must be just tight enough to allow the “prongs” or electrodes to make good skin contact. • If your collar is too loose, the stimulation may not work properly because good skin contact is not being achieved.
